Before we could answer he said "Hold On" and took off at a high rate of speed. He roared back with a borrowed pen and signed our ball caps. As we walked away we were both thinking, did that really happen?
We have all seen the media side of JFR, but underneath he is just John, enjoying the life he has been given. Probably a lesson in there for all of us.
Thanks Cam for sharing this, This why John Force, like Bob Glidden is a TRUE Champion. We as NHRA fans should be so greatful.
